@tekumara I see where the confusion is, allow me clear this up.

Open the JSON file where it’s actually stored. You can use the command Open Settings (JSON). Even though python.linting.pylintEnabled is checked in the UI, you’ll notice that "python.linting.pylintEnabled": true entry doesn’t exist in the JSON file, i.e it’s not explicitly set.

Please add "python.linting.pylintEnabled": true in that JSON file, after which you should stop receiving the prompt.

Thanks @karrtikr! I directly modified settings.json and now I no longer get the prompt 🎉
